12 Days of Christmas – Day 2

Christmas in the Air

Today I want to share with you a few really great ways to get that Christmas scent in the air. Of course you can always lit a scented candle, but usually they don’t work that great… But if you want your whole house to smell like Christmas then you should definitely give my brews a try ;)

Orange & Cloves

Ingredients: 1 Orange (Skin), 10 Whole Cloves, Water

Directions: Fill up a pan about half with water and get it to a boil. In the meantime peal the orange (eat the juicy fruit ;) ) and put the skin into the water. Add your whole cloves and let the brew simmer on small flame. Your house will smell amazingly within short time!!

Hot Apple Cider

Ingredients: Apple Juice, Cinnamon Stick, Whole Cloves, Water

Directions: In a pan, bring about 2 cups of water and 6 cups of apple juice to a boil. Add the cinnamon stick and about 10 whole cloves and let simmer on small flame. Not only will your house smell in the highest notes, but you will have hot apple cider that you can drink and share with your guests! (really really yummy and a great hit at our place ;) ) This tastes really good also on the second day, after it has been cold overnight. Simply warm up and enjoy :D

Hot Chocolate

Ingredients: Milk, Water, 1 Cup good quality Chocolate Chips, 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa, Sugar (if needed), Whipping Cream & Marshmallows (if preferred)

Directions: In a pan mix 1 cup of water, 1 to 2 quarts of milk, chocolate chips and cocoa to a boil. Be careful and make sure it doesn’t overflow! If needed add sugar and serve with whipping cream and marshmallows ;)

Hope you will like these recipes as much as I do :D

Merry Christmas ♥
